These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.

A set of 12 or 14 cards that give a specific goal, NOT to be confused with the separate "Secret Mission Risk" release
since there is a set of them that read "Kill all of X army's units." While older versions explicitly stated that you must destroy the last unit to claim victory on that goal, recent releases changed the ruling to where if the army is defeated by anyone and they do not fulfill their mission in the same instant, you win.
